Luxury Beachfront Condo in Playa Bonita, Panama City's best accommodation option

Luxurious and modern beachfront condo in the 5 Star Westin Playa Bonita Resort, the only option in Panama to enjoy both the beach and the city, with views of the tropical rainforest, Pacific Ocean and the canal- its a one-of-a-kind tropical oasis.

Roof deck with pool, social area and 360 view over the ocean. The resort was elected by Conde Nast among the top 5 resorts in Latin America, with numerous amenities, including several swimming pools, tour operator, restaurants, bars, and concierge.

Our condo, on the 14th floor, has two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large living room with open kitchen. It is perfect for up to 6 people to enjoy enjoy a unique stay by the beach, while being close to great Panama City, with its abundance of restaurants, bars, museums, the Panama Canal locks, shopping centers and more. The entire condo, decorated by an architect and artist, has A/C, great Wifi coverage and comfortable and modern furniture.

The condo has has a large and fully equipped kitchen, with everything you need to cook, and a beautiful and comfortable with breathtaking views of the ocean and the Panama Canal, with boats passing by, and the dense, soothing and relaxing rainforest just below. The kitchen has an American fridge with water and ice dispenser, as well as a dishwasher, and all the necessary utensils. The condo also has its own washing machine and dryer.

The master en-suite bedroom has a king-size bed with Memory Foam, a wooden desk, and a large bathroom with shower and jacuzzi, and a large walk-in closet.

The second bedroom has two twin beds, which can be joined together into a King size bed if you wish, and a large wardrobe.

The condo also has two additional single beds (one in each bedroom) that can be moved around, meaning that you can for instance have 2 people in one bedroom and 4 in another, or 3 and 3, or you may even place them in the living room.

This beautiful apartment, decorated with style, located in the beachfront Westin Playa Bonita resort, is unique because it is the best of two worlds, in that it is the only accommodation option in Panamá to enjoy both the beach and the great city. It is the only beach located close to the center of Panama City, the old town, and the Panama Canal. Depending on traffic, you can be in the old town or the city centre in under 15 minutes (the next closest beach is roughly an hour and a half away). Our guests love staying with us precisely because of this, being able to stay/sleep, being and feeling at the beach, and at the same time experience all that Panama City has to offer before returning to sleep among the waves and jungle. As such, we are convinced that this is the best accommodation option there is in all of Panama City.

You will have access to the rooftop pool and social area, with breathtaking 360 degree views over the ocean, a spa/jacuzzi, spectacular barbecue area (with an extra charge), as well as the building's gym (also on the top floor with ocean views), sauna and playroom with pool table, table tennis/ping pong table, poker table, and table football.

If you are two guests and only need one bedroom, please contact us and we may be able to apply a discount on the nightly rate (low season only).

Pets are allowed, with basic building rules applied (cannot enter the lobby wet, must use the service elevator, always with a leash, etc.).

Our guests can purchase the optional but highly recommended access/membership to the Pearl Club's luxurious beach club amenities (beach club exclusive for the building), including a spectacular beach-side pool, a great gym, stand-up paddle boards and kayaks, as well as a world-class Clarins spa. Access to the club is optional, at an extra cost, is exclusively reserved for residents and guests of the building, and the membership can be purchased on site.

The check in process is simple. The building has a front desk that is staffed 24x7, and the key to the unit will be in a lockbox by the door. We will be in contact from the moment you book, to ensure everything is clear for you and that you arrive and start enjoying the beach, the condo, all of the building's and resort's amenities, as well asl that Panama has to offer.

The Westin Playa Bonita Hotel has a travel agency/tour operator, called Panamazing, to help with excursions to all of Panama's main attractions, including the Canal and Miraflores Locks, the historic center, museums, indigenous communities, the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve, shopping malls and more.

You will have access to the rooftop pool and social area, with breathtaking 360 degree views over the ocean, a spa/jacuzzi, spectacular barbecue area (with an extra charge), as well as the building's gym (also on the top floor with ocean views), sauna and playroom with pool table, table tennis/ping pong table, poker table, and table football.

Just in case, we have another similar apartment in the same building (on the 11th floor).

The hosts, who live in Panama City, will always be available for questions/inquiries, from the moment you book, until you check out, to ensure that your stay with us exceeds expectations.

Very nice unit - Beach not so nice
the unit very clean and nice, we could live there, but the beach was horrific & the internet wasn’t so good, but we just dealt with. the hosts were very accommodating. The only real issue is the "water currents that come in and out due to the canal", never seen anything like it. The beach is like a huge pile of dirt and dark mud with clumps. But overall property has all the accommodations. They literally have one of the BEST BUFFETS I have ever had at the Westin.

Ensure that the host knows you are staying. Supposedly Vrbo didn’t send confirmation to host so I had to wait until 8pm to use the property. The place has everything you need expect face towels. The store around the property was closed some of the time due to low season. The property is for those looking to get away from the city and enjoy a nice beach setting or close the beach. The beach at the property was not that please, but less than a mile you can fine some smooth sandy areas. The pictures are more of the hotel near the property which is a little walk, so make sure I you have a rain jacket or umbrella. The restaurants at the hotel were reasonable and all the employees were very friendly. Nice place, but just to far out for me as I would have like to explore the city without getting a Uber for a long drive.

A very nice unit near the beach. The boat had great communication. Place looks just like photos. One small issue with the air but so minor in the big picture and the place has 3 air conditioners. I would fully recommend the place. We could get to city and around the beach town with uber and we’re right ne5 to the beach. would be a great place to stay even longer.

Close to the beach and very peaceful
We stayed during the off-season and had the beach and pool to ourselves. The apartment was perfect for two adults and two teens. There was lots of room, so we could relax. It was a short walk to the beach and Westin pools. If you plan to book tours, I recommend doing it online or directly with the place. Tour company in the Westin is very expensive compared to the actual price.

Best rental property ever
It is a dream property for our visit to Panama. Sitting in the Westin Playa Bonita Village, we enjoyed top rated amenities from the hotel at a much cheaper price. The location is far from all the noises while having easy access to all destinations. The restaurants located in just a mile away are top rated as well. The owner is very friendly and flexible as well. Strongly recommended!

We have tons of family in Panama and this property was perfect for both our family of 4 visiting from the US and gave us the ability to entertain our family in Panama.

Beautiful place and great hosts
We enjoyed a lovely two week stay at this property and really appreciated the responsiveness of our hosts. The place is even more beautiful IRL and the views are breathtaking. Would absolutely return. I do think it’s worth noting that for trips the city, it’s important to time them to avoid traffic and higher Uber costs, but none of that detracts from how we felt about our stay.

Everything We Expected
Can't say enough good things about the unit. Location was great, amazing view of the jungle and ocean. Evenings on the balcony were wonderful, listening to the birds and insects, very relaxing. Was a great place to come back to after a day of exploring Panama. Plenty of room for both couples to spread out and relax. Master room was comfortable and the master shower with walk-in closet very nice. Fun in the evenings to prepare meals and talk about the day of exploring. Though outside of Panama City we had no issues getting Uber rides into town or arranging pickups for our various excursions. Definitely be aware of traffic going into and out of Panama City. The traffic can be unreal and going over the Bridge time consuming. Recommend using Uber, very convenient and inexpensive. Check in was very easy and the desk staff were super friendly and very helpful. Communicating with the host Remi was super easy and responses to questions were always helpful and timely. Highly recommend the property.

Great Place to Stay in Panama
The property was very clean and a lot more bright and spacious than we expected and were used to coming from Toronto. It backs on the rainforest and gives a great view (especially at night) of the Canal and the boats as they turn on their lights. The master suite was huge and the bathroom spa like with a walk in closet. The kids loved their bedroom with a separate TV from the living room and master with both also have their own TV. The suite also has a full kitchen and laundry room which was very convenient. Remi and Ana were great hosts always very responsive and answered our questions quickly. The staff in the building were very attentive. The only issue we had during our stay were that the building hot tub and pool were under going maintenance and so were not accessible, but that didn't diminish our stay as we spent all of our time at the club pool and beach anyway. We did a little shopping at the local store in Casa Bonita and the Riba supermarket nearby. We bought the Pearl Club pool membership for $107 USD for a week for the whole family which was an amazing value vs the $75 USD per person per day for the Westin pool. We also got access to the gym (same gym as the Westin) as part of this membership, and the pay as you go Spa (also same as the Westin). We also decided to save money and not rent a car, and opted to use taxis to get around which worked well. We arranged transportation from the airport back to the Casa Bonita as well. Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend this host and condo for your trip to Panama.

Best VRBO We Have Had!
First, the owners of this spectacular high-rise unit gave the most detailed instructions about operations, location, etc. we have ever seen from the probably 12 or more VRBO properties we have rented. It really took the stress away. I had a couple of questions during our stay about shopping, and the owners were very quick to respond, and had precise and useful answers. As for the property itself, it was immaculate. It was decorated very tastefully and discretely. Lots of light, fantastic views of rain forest and Panama Bay, including the ships lining up each day to pass through the Canal. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The garage parking was clean and easy to use. Then, the quality of the swimming pools we had acces to were top. We joined the Pearl Club for a week (100 USD + 7% tax), and enjoyed two large pristine pools, a full weight and fitness room (TRX bands, cardio, weights, etc. etc.). All right next to the beach and surrounded by coconut palms. Very relaxing and luxurious, and no booming radios or noise, and hardly any people (May/June is not high season). We could not have enjoyed our stay at Casa Bonita more. We drove into Panama City or Casco Antiguo every day (our boys took Spanish lessons in Casco Antiguo), and the drive was a 17 minute easy and peaceful, even at 8:30 in the morning, and noon when I picked them up. Compared with staying in the business area of Panama City, we made a great choice to stay outside the city and driven in when we needed to. Thank you Remi and Ana Cecilia!
